MUSIC AND DRAMA.
FANTINE.

FAMINE.
There was a large audience gathered al
the theatre last night who were delighted
with the excellent singing and acting of
Famine. 1t is true that the au-
dience was not so large as on Mon
day night, when there was not even
standing room. but it was large audience
and one that was not slow to see the good
points brought out by the company, and to
give them the credit. Miss Louise Kissing
gave very acceptable Interpretation of
',Nicolet." The other ladies in the cast gave
good support. Ben Lodge carried the au-
dience by storm, as he always does. His
Marquis de Pontcornet" was very funny
and ne was heartily applauded for his work
The Francois" of Arthur K. Miller deserves
mention. The support all the way through
WAS excellent and the chorus strong IN voice.
This evening "The Jolly Musketeers" will be
presented.
THE IDEALS.
The Ideal Opera Company will make their
first appearance in Portland, this season, on
Friday night, at City Hall, in "The Daughter
of the Regiment" The plot, in brief, is
this: That Marie was picked up mere
child on the battle field by the French
Sergeant Sulpizio, and was adopted by the
regiment to which he belonged as its daugh
ter, marching everywhere with them as the
riuandiere. Tonic, Tyrolese peasant, who
has saved Marie's life, joins the regiment
and the two fall in love. Marie however
turns out to be neice of the Marchioness of
Berkenfeld, is claimed by her aunt, taken to
Paris, and educated, but finally the
Marchioness gives in and Marie is married
to Tonic. Good seats can still be secured at
Stockbridge's.

Fraternity Evening School.

The Portland Fraternity Evening School
is about to commence and the management
want few more teachers and especially for
the bookkeeping, penmanship and gymna-
stun classes. The city authorities provide
no such chance for the many boys and girls
that are unable to attend the day school and
the Fraternity, in addition to its other de-
partments, has had an evening school dur
ing the past sixteen years which has been
taught entirely by volunteer teachers. This
work has been very popular among the
young ladies and gentlemen of Portland,
and when at all evenly distributed among
those that are always interested in such
work when you can get it to their attention
it has been pleasure rather than burden.
No teacher is asked to serve more than one
evening week. They want six young men
volunteer teachers Immediately, two for each
of the above classes. Names can be left
with the janit0r at the rooms Nos. and 5
Free street. or with Miss Sparrow, corner of
Pine and Winter streets.

RAILWAY MATTERS.


The accounts for eleven months Of the ifs
cal year, or to September 1st have been
made up for the Boston & Maine and East
ern roads, and they show, after all expenses
and taxes. $4,000 a head of the correspond
ing period last year.
In reference to the question of a dividend
on Eastern common stock, President Hun
newell says the interest charge on Eastern
bonds will be reduced about $4,000 this
year, as compared with about 1900 last
year. Last year the Boston Il Maine paid
the Eastern $421, 200, and this year the East
ern will probably receive the full amount
under lease, or $436,000, November list,
100000 of which goes into the sinking fund.
The remaining $336,000, increased by inter-
est reduction to 1855, 200, would pay six per
cent. on stock, with a handsome surplus,
were it not that the directors may decide to
deduct the sinking fund payment for this
year as well as last years from 1t, since
money was borrowed for this purpose last
year. If two sinking funds are deducted it
Will leave something over four per cent. for
the common stock.
TRACK BUILDING.
The Boston 81 Maine Railroad Company
Sunday transferred to the Boston & Albany
road for its exclusive use the third track
from the Somerville ''knownothing" cross
ing to the signal station at Cary Cut, Chel-
sea. In order to accommodate the freight
business of the Boston & Albany the Boston
& Maine was compelled to build a third
track between the points indicated. The
Boston & Maine uses the road-bed of the
Grand Junction Railroad from Somerville to
Chelsea, and the Grand Junction is owned
by the Albany. In order to clear the tracks
for the Albany's East Boston tidewater
freight the Chelsea depot was moved over to
the north side Of the tracks. This necessi-
tated building several hundred yards of re-
tanning wall and the widening of two
bridges. The entire operation, including
the building of the new track and two
bridges at Chelsea, the widening of the
Mystic River bridge and the transfer of the
Chelsea depot, has occupied, nearly two
large sum of money.
